Hey everyone! I think my German Textbook has a mistake in its correction because it says the correct form of the verb in the following sentence is "fotografiert". Can anyone tell me if it's actually right?

Otto nimmt seinen Fotoapparat mit, weil er gern fotografiert.

I thought the correct form was "fotografieren"

Answer

PHOTOGRAPHIEREN is the infinitive. If you look up the conjugation: ER PHOTOGRAPHIERT.

Answer

It would also a translation like:

He really likes the action of fotographing.

Therefore you can't use an infinitive here.
